Rykodisc has announced the release of the new Joe Jackson record on January 28, 2008.
Entitled, Rain, it's the first Jackson record since the brilliant and critically acclaimed Volume 4 was released in 2003. While Volume 4 featured the reunion of the original, iconic Joe Jackson Band, Rain, was made with three of those four members: Jackson (vocals and keyboards), Graham Maby (bass/vocals) and Dave Houghton (drums/vocals). The record was produced by Jackson, and recorded in his newly-adopted city of Berlin at Planet Roc studios.
Jacksom will also be touring Europe in 2008, kicking off in Dublin at the Olympia Theatre on Feb 29th and the band will be playing a single UK gig at Shepherds Bush Empire in London on March 2nd. The band will perform a full UK tour later in 2008.
